Not much experience, mainly just basic basic repairs of tack and such.

I’m looking at getting into leatherworking. Specifically “Firefighter Leather”. Think turnout gear belts, suspenders, radio straps and cases, helmet bands. I have a lead on a consew 225. But I am curious what other tooling I will need? I know letter/number stamps. Edge bevelers. Any suggestions for setting snaps and rivets? Maybe a modified arbor press? Edge burnisher. What paint pens are y’all using? Thanks for the help.

Does anyone have or know where to get a pattern for one of these. It will be my first project. Thanks Justin
